Lighting

With a little thought and planning, the lighting in the activity areas of your home can be made more efficient and attractive.  But the right choice of fixture, the proper lamp (and bulb), placement, and height all have major effect on the results.  When it all comes together, beauty, comfort and convenience can be added to every area of your home.

Light up your life

Just as with furniture or window treatments, Sally always starts with the function or purpose of a particular lighting need when working with clients.  From there, the type of lighting is usually obvious, although there may be choices or a combination required.

With the exception of chandeliers, most residential lighting requirements are met best with lamps rather than recessed or ceiling-mounted fixtures.  Wonderful lamps are available today for any location or purpose:  wall sconces, table lamps, accent lamps, floor lamps, desk lamps, and torchieres of every size and material add variety and interest to any décor.

Four basic types of lighting are often used together to provide the desired functionality and flexibility:

  • Ambient lighting for the whole room
  • Task lighting for reading, studying, cooking…
  • Accent lighting to illuminate architectural features or objects
  • Decorative lighting as a focal point in the space
